Illinois Census Notes

Between 1680-1763, Illinois was under the control of France.

Between 1763-1783, Illinois was controlled by Great Britain.

Between 1800 and 1809, Illinois was considered part of Indiana Territory.

On 3 March, 1809, Illinois became it's own territory. 

Federal Illinois census records begin in 1820 and were enumerated every ten years.  Census years available to the public are: 1820, 1830, 1840, 1850, 1860, 1870, 1880, 1900, 1910, 1920 and 1930.
